What is recorded here
Church (in Ruins), Grave Yd. stands in County Laois, Ireland, a small late medieval parish church buried inside a subrectangular graveyard measuring 43m north-south and 45m east-west. The ruins suggest worship long before the oldest visible memorials appeared after 1700 AD, implying that generations were laid to rest there before stone markers became common. The place still keeps its shape: a narrow field of dead, a broken church at its heart, and time layered beneath the grass.
Small late medieval parish church (LA009-014), situated in the centre of a subrectangular graveyard (dims. 43m N-S x 45m E-W). All visible memorials post date 1700 AD.
